No apostrophe, subby.

But, all the same, the Durst solo they listed truly is horrible.

I like the Top 7 Worst Grammatical Mistakes list better.

Misfits - We are 138 was the first guitar solo I could ever play... it's not hard to see why, a complete novice can play it. still like the song though.

Still no cure for Spike.

Southern Man - Neil Young

Great song, TERRIBLE guitar solo.

That is all.

/although I'm sure there is more.

Never heard Neil Young's CINNAMON GIRL?

... which incidentally is one of the best solos (soloes?) there is. One note; plays the Hades out of it

Is it just me, or are the videos farked?

Wait, no "Rage Against The Machine desperately trying to make a guitar sound like a DJ scratching and it ends up just coming out nasty?"

 
sidgoop 2008-12-09 02:40:40 PM  
They forgot 'Cult of Personality' by Living Colour. I love the band, and the main riff is really good. That being said, that solo is a goddamn mess.

You do not need the apostrophe to form the plural

Wow, I'm amazed that I was beaten to the punch. The 138 solo is amazingly simple, yet it still sounds good in the song. I tried playing it a few years ago and did fine after playing guitar for 2 weeks. I was stunned that Doyle managed to mess it up on the Static Age studio sessions on the box set though. I can't see how it's physically possible for a practiced guitarist to mess that solo up, considering he did some pretty decent, albeit 80s sounding, solos for Kryst the Conqueror

 
Abox 2008-12-09 02:42:44 PM  
Include: anything by Blues Traveler, anything by Jimmie Vaughan.

 
Vern 2008-12-09 02:43:05 PM  
Oh, I missed the second page of the article where they had We Are 138, so I'm not that surprised that you mentioned it. Still, it was the first solo that popped into my mind when I read the headline.

 
Hoblit 2008-12-09 02:43:17 PM  
Slaxl

I'm in a band that plays that song and we SKIP the solo because it's so useless.

/in fact I had to go back and listen to see what you were talking about.

 
ukmhz 2008-12-09 02:43:20 PM  
Morello is at least original, definitely better than the 10 listed here. And I totally agree with the Durst solo being #1 I remember wanting to vomit out of my ears the first time I heard that.

 
ryan_coke 2008-12-09 02:43:21 PM  
You forgot about this guy. He Should be at number 1 only because he thinks he can actually play.

/Worst lead guitarist ever.

 
cousndick 2008-12-09 02:43:57 PM  
Who cares?!
And second, who cares what Spike has to say?!
Must be a slow day...

 
Zaboomafoo 2008-12-09 02:44:26 PM  
well before i clicked i thought of "Banquet" by Bloc Party. Man, I love that song, but once it gets to that last 15-20 seconds--where the solo comes in--i just have to turn it off. It's too damn whiney! Like this post!

/Bah!

 
Ditto 2008-12-09 02:44:42 PM  
Fark: It's not news, it's a bunch of lists.

/and gammre nazi's

I'm pretty sure that the first time I picked up a guitar I played something cooler than that Fred Durst mess.

 
mofomisfit 2008-12-09 02:44:53 PM  
We Are 138 - I mean, over half that song is just repeating that phrase, or just shouting 8 over and over again. It's an awesome tune, I love The Misfits but it's not really a song you're looking for a blistering solo in, you know?

 
MattyBlast [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-12-09 02:44:54 PM  
The Joker - Steve Miller Band.

His guitar sound makes me ill.

 
Monktime 2008-12-09 02:45:12 PM  
I nominate Spike as the all time worst list-whore on Fark. It offends in every possible way.

 
Killer Cars [TotalFark] 2008-12-09 02:45:12 PM  
What the f*ck was that by Fred Durst? An interpretation of a pissed off armadillo with indigestion?

Th3Guy 2008-12-09 02:46:01 PM  
Has anyone said anything about the apostrophe yet?

 
Ferrous Capuchin 2008-12-09 02:46:12 PM  
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name

A powerful amazing song ruined by an awkwardly shoehorned-in solo that sounds like a vocoder thrown into a box of feral cats. True crap.

Cue the solo snobs who point out obviously talented guitar players and say they are total shiat.

*checks thread*

ryan_coke, glad you could make it.

/better guitar player than you.
//and you and you and you and you and you and you...

 
GoSurfing [TotalFark] 2008-12-09 02:47:26 PM  
Wow lots of Neil Young hate.

Sublime with "what I got" reprise.

Then again I knew to take Brad Nowell for a fool when he sang "I can play the guitar like a mother farking riot"

 
Hoopy Frood 2008-12-09 02:47:28 PM  
And no mention of "The Cover of Rolling Stone"? For shame.

 
rodeofrog 2008-12-09 02:47:31 PM  
pop music lists ruin life.

 
fonebone77 2008-12-09 02:47:41 PM  
I'm right there with you on Rage's (hope I used that apostrophe correctly :| )guitar sounds sucking. Strangely enough, I enjoyed the toned down version of it with Audioslave.

Hoblit: Southern Man - Neil Young

Great song, TERRIBLE guitar solo.


I love that guitar solo. It's not the notes you play, it's how to play 'em. It fit the song perfectly.

whidbey [TotalFark] 2008-12-09 02:48:00 PM  
Sheeit, that Misfits solo he was b*tching about could whup all the other examples singlehandedly. Or singlefingeredly, to be accurate...

And this was funny too: NIN! (new window)
